HOME IS WHERE THE COMPUTER IS

There are things you need and things you don’t. I mean, if you can read and write and have a job then you could probably settle for new shoes for the kids and an occasional night out and a reasonable Mastercharge balance. Right? Not in this nation of Joneses you can’t. Not when the people next door have just bought a video player and the service truck is across the street installing a TV projector. And there’s a rumor that somebody down the block has just put a. down payment on a home computer.
Leisure electronics are a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Our morality is cash on the counter, decisions between VHSand Beta, Laserdisc and Discovision: Desire for the latest solid state plastic toys, without the least idea of what we’ll do with them once we get them home and plugged into the local power company.
